This award supports the renewal of the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Washington, Seattle. The program offers a broad selection of student projects from almost every sub-field of physics. It makes use of the University of Washington's strong in-house "table-top" experimental programs; its machine-shop facilities including a first-rate student shop; CENPA, a DOE center-of-excellence in nuclear physics and astrophysics; and theory opportunities ranging from the Institute for Nuclear Theory to Biophysics to use of a twenty-teraflop local cluster, as well as research into physics education. The award supports twelve students per summer. Selection will be competitive, considering past academic performance, letters of recommendation, and taking into account the potential for impacting the student's career.Each student participant will be partnered with a UW faculty adviser. Several Physics faculty members participate as advisers, as do selected faculty from affiliated departments. Student work includes: design, construction, and commissioning of instrumentation; data collection and analysis; numerical modeling; the development of software for such modeling; and theory. Not infrequently this work culminates in a journal publication.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持西雅图华盛顿大学本科生研究体验 (REU) 网站的更新。该项目提供了来自物理学几乎每个子领域的广泛的学生项目选择。它利用了华盛顿大学强大的内部“桌面”实验项目；其机械车间设施包括一流的学生车间； CENPA，美国能源部核物理和天体物理学卓越中心；和理论机会，从核理论研究所到生物物理学，再到使用 20 万亿次浮点运算的本地集群，以及物理教育研究。该奖项每年夏天资助十二名学生。选择将是竞争性的，会考虑过去的学业表现、推荐信，并考虑影响学生职业生涯的潜力。每位学生参与者都将与华盛顿大学的一名教师顾问合作。几位物理系教员以及从附属院系选出的教员作为顾问参与其中。学生工作包括：仪器的设计、建造和调试；数据收集和分析；数值模拟；开发用于此类建模的软件；和理论。这项工作通常会在期刊上发表。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
